Time to get the speed lights out of storage. I have been stuck on studio lights as I didn’t think I could achieve the same results, but Gavin has proven otherwise.
You are so genius ! I like all your tutorials because it’s si clear and easy to understand. And your voice is perfect, because i speak french and understand you perfectly. Thanks a lot 😉🐶❤️
I appreciate the tutorial on speedlights. I have 3 Phottix Mitros+ lights and find them to be very powerful. I like the ISO tip! Appreciate your passion for pics!
Thanks, Gavin for this. It looks like a simple setup and I love the idea of props to tell a story. It's something that we are trying with our camera club portrait group and everyone has so much fun with it.
The only photographer who make complete educational work in Easy and practical way. Keeps the good work Gavin. Thanks to Adorama for bringing always such great content 😊❤
Gavin. You have the power to take amazing photos in a way we can all learn and repeat in small studios without it feeling like rocket science. I learn countless cool techniques from you. congratulations! Thank you.
Hi Marts. Both the Flashpoint speedlights also have modelling lights but on the rectangular one the softbox blocks it and on round head the LED is no match for the video lights!
I can do this! That's one of the reasons I love your videos as I feel like I can do this. I noticed you put another backdrop on the floor. How does that work? Do you like that? Thanks again for another awesome video!!!
This time Gavin, I have to disagree with you... no choice ! Chloé is NOT a model, at all. She is a genuine actress, a real comedian. And, besides being a photographer, I am a professional actor (yes, that actually is possible... this is how I know she is a colleague of mine, even though she may (or may not) ignore it. Bravo Chloé, you give those final images this dramatic ambiance a model could not !
I've got encouraged to shoot in a small room with speedlights and umbrellas because I saw some of your videos from your "small home studio". :) Thank you Gavin!
Hey Gavin, One can not be greatful enough to thank you for your effort to teach what what every serious amateur-photographer wants to learn and apply. You show how to get great results without a 20k Dollar gear , so we can copy what you showed in the video. You are my number one, when it comes to photography. Best regards from Germany
I get the combination of zoom lens and tripon. What about prime lenses and moving more around studio? But thanks for the tip about background light. Its something I was looking for.
One problem I encounter with this setup is when people wear glasses the shadows from the frames and extra light under the eyes. Can you show us how you deal with this? BTW I enjoy all your tutorials. Your one of my favorites….
Great video mister Howey!! Another great point to mention about speedlights - it´s strange to say - but... They are "weak"... Or at least goes to 1/128 - In many cases you don´t want that POWERFUL studio strobe.
Hello Gavin.. Is the weighted bag on your light stand filled with sand or is it one of the water filled ones? If it's water filled have you had any problems with it leaking? Thanks from Danville, Virginia USA.
Greetings. Great information and great images but... at the top of the video, unless I'm mistaken, shouldn't the weight on the c-stand gobo arm be on the right of the knuckle. The "right-hand-rule"... so that the weight, in this case the speed light, tightens the gobo head with the weight applied to it. (Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.) Safety first.
The eye-detect feature of modern mirrorless cameras is the only reason I'm considering changing my camera (well of course I mean buying another camera). Getting eyes in critical focus, especially with a wide-open portrait Prime, is the hardest part of Portrait photography. Just when you think you got the perfect photo.... you check focus..and you know the rest.
Fun, informative video Gavin. Question: I'm a beginner who has only done natural light portraits. I have used a reflector, but don't yet have a proper flash. I want to get something that I can use outside for things like HS senior photos, before prom photos, children portraits. Do I need to go with something more powerful than a speedlight for outside? So far, I was looking at two units, the Godox V860 and the AD200 as possible choices. My camera is a Fujifilm X-T3. I am not looking to do this professionally at this point. Only shooting for friends who ask. Thanks for any thoughts you might have....
Hi Joel. It's a bit hidden away in the video description but it the OTA-C mount ua-cam.com/users/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbldKemIzSU5jSlFnSkZ5R2k2UGZNMnZEa3duUXxBQ3Jtc0trbkR2WVFWRC15d1E2RzE3cEdjdXBGRkpMWjlSb1BqN21TekRMLXYyX1h2cUdzd2hPR2d2Q0lSWXVfNXRpOFZ5VmdwUW9GS0E3bFlyZ0UzRmtqYnRMR1hkdFlndXhHaXVydFo3YldsMEpESGVNbGIxQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adorama.com%2Fglsbppotac.html&v=e4orvJFCuBM

Gavin you always make the best videos!! I have a question you might like to address in a future video. I am trying to do full length portraits with white curtain background and white floor. I nearly have it right but not quite. I have a white backdrop and then sheers. A Godox 200 either side between the two. A Godox 200 in a big black umbrella at the front and a reflector at my tripod. My problem is I still get light drop off down the dress and I don't want that. So how can I get the beauty light on her face but keep everything light and bright. I hope this makes sense. I can send you a photo if you wish. Thanks always for your fantastic videos. Much appreciated.
I had to stop for a minute at 1:15 where you said that ISO 200 requires TWICE as much light as ISO 100. At ISO 200 the sensitivity of the sensor is double that of ISO 100 and it requires HALF as much light unless my old mind has gone astray. Higher ISO equals less flash for the same exposure.... right?
I never miss one from you, always interesting and always learning something new. I have a Godox V1, which I guess is similar to the Flashpoint Zoom Li-on X with its round head and a modelling light inside the head. Do you use the modelling light of your Li-on X with a softbox sometimes?
Great video Gavin. Nice and simple and to the point. I've got to say when Chloe peeked up over the reflector I had to laugh. Thanks for the tips and advice. Gorgeous images. The brown you put on the background was fantastic.
How would this entire shoot and the options selected have been different had you used a full frame camera rather than the Olympus? I assume the aperture would have needed to be smaller so the speedlight would have to be set to a higher power. Anything else?
Aperture, probably yes and associated power of the flash. Other then that NOTHING changes. Micro 4/3, APS-C, 35mm, Medium format, plate camera... all the same principles 😉
Sensational images as usual. All the looks are superb but I do rather like the Manfrotto background as it reminds me of those beautiful Oliphant canvas painted backdrops. Well done, thank you.
Thank you for another great video. Really nice pictures, but hey, with a model like Chloe it is hard to get it wrong :) It is nice to se that two speedlights and a small softbox will get you a long way. You mentioned that a downside using speedlights, is the lack of a modelling lamp. I do believe the V1 (X) has that feature, at least the Canon version has that.
I've used the first set up for my headshot sessions for the last four months since viewing this video and they have improved tremendously. Thank you Gavin.
It is always a pleasure to learn from you that with relative simple addings and lightning, you can make great photo's. And with the help of a very nice model as well of course.
Great ideas as always Gavin and great work from Chloe. I find a small speedlight - I use a Godox TT350 - is always handy to light those little details that a bigger flash would overpower.

I'm not far (in years) behind you Tom and like you I'm still learning from my peers.
@@GavinHoey So says the remarkably talented (and humble) Mr. Hoey, teacher extraordinaire.
Thanks Gavin, great ideas, great content...luv it
Time to get the speed lights out of storage. I have been stuck on studio lights as I didn’t think I could achieve the same results, but Gavin has proven otherwise.
Small but mighty... Go for it Keith 👍
Thank you for keeping the simple, simple! Great images, styling and overall art Gavin. Please know that you are appreciated and well respected.
Always a pleasure to watch you work!
Thanks Gavin!! Wonderful video as always!!! I look forward to your videos and I always learn from them.
Gavin you make it so easy to produce top notch portraits. Always a pleasure to watch .
You are so genius !
I like all your tutorials because it’s si clear and easy to understand. And your voice is perfect, because i speak french and understand you perfectly. Thanks a lot 😉🐶❤️
Always love how you take such a simple setup and make it fun and interesting Gavin. Thank you for this! 😊
Simple is my wheelhouse Brad 😉
Love your videos. Very un-pretentious, totally practical and simple. Thank you.
Wow! Am impressed with the lighting technique. It's actually my first time watching your tutorial. Thanks Gavin Hoey and team

Thank you for using speedlights! That's what I have and it's good to know that you can get good results without studio lights.
You're not alone there Susanna. Secret insider tip... almost every studio video I make COULD have been made with speedlights 😉
@@GavinHoey thank you! Good to know. 🙂
Love your videos, thank you and keep ‘em coming
Really do enjoy your videos, I've learned a great deal from them. Also clear to me that you love what you do. MORE PLEASE!

Loved the look from the background light with the gel. Really transformed the image and bought the whole look together.
Thank you, it was almost as if I planned it that way 😋
Thank you
Every time I watch a Gavin Hoey video, it makes me wanna make more photos
Great content as always! Best regards from Dominican Republic!
Another fantastic tutorial from Gavin and the team,I will definitely be giving this one a go.
Great job modeling from Chloe as always,
Always a good time watching your videos 😊
Great 12mins Gavin, Very informative video.
Thanks John 👍
Hi, Gavin.
The Godex V1 has a modeling light.
Antoine
Excellent vid. Thanks again, Gav. Oh, as an aside the Godox V860iii has a modelling light, something new compared to the ii or the V1.
Hi Marts. Both the Flashpoint speedlights also have modelling lights but on the rectangular one the softbox blocks it and on round head the LED is no match for the video lights!
nice class🙂🙂🙂
Got that same hexapop 24" speedlight combo, that alone was my good reason to get the 860V3 in addition to the V1 flash.
Another great video! What could you have done to make it better? ....Come on, it was GREAT exactly as is!
Very nice presentation!
the flashmeter is the BEST tool.
I can do this! That's one of the reasons I love your videos as I feel like I can do this. I noticed you put another backdrop on the floor. How does that work? Do you like that? Thanks again for another awesome video!!!
This time Gavin, I have to disagree with you... no choice !
Chloé is NOT a model, at all. She is a genuine actress, a real comedian.
And, besides being a photographer, I am a professional actor (yes, that actually is possible... this is how I know she is a colleague of mine, even though she may (or may not) ignore it.
Bravo Chloé, you give those final images this dramatic ambiance a model could not !
what kind of product is holding the Manfrotto 6.5x7.5' EzyFrame Vintage Background? 😊

Hey Gavin,

You show how to get great results without a 20k Dollar gear , so we can copy what you showed in the video. You are my number one, when it comes to photography.

hello. Model Chloe Kerley is constantly growing into beauty. Otherwise, thank you for inspiration and tutorials for photography
I get the combination of zoom lens and tripon. What about prime lenses and moving more around studio?
But thanks for the tip about background light. Its something I was looking for.
I love these tutorials - thank you! What's the 'client monitor' you're using (that the orange lead goes to)? Is it USB or HDMI?
One problem I encounter with this setup is when people wear glasses the shadows from the frames and extra light under the eyes.
Can you show us how you deal with this?
BTW I enjoy all your tutorials. Your one of my favorites….
Always learn a lot from your videos. Thanks for sharing
You are so so good, Gavin! Come over here to Down Under Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 and do some seminars.
Great,how you edit this ?
Love this guy
Ensaio fantástico e super dicas de como usar os flashes TTL, muito obrigado.
Curious as to which tablet you are using. The tether cable seems to be going straight into the tablet.
With the table setup, is there a way you can add fill under the models chin?
Great setup I will get that speedlight bracket. No leak light
i want know holder for v1 flash in video.. like nice...
The model looks stunning
Great video mister Howey!! Another great point to mention about speedlights - it´s strange to say - but... They are "weak"... Or at least goes to 1/128 - In many cases you don´t want that POWERFUL studio strobe.
Beautfiul set up and images Gavin. Chloe looked lovely as always. Great work mate 😊
Thanks Paul.
Hello Gavin..
Is the weighted bag on your light stand filled with sand or is it one of the water filled ones?
If it's water filled have you had any problems with it leaking?
Thanks from Danville, Virginia USA.
Hi David. My sandbags are filled with pea shingle. Less chance of it leaking out (compared to sand) and HEAVY!
Do you have a link to the boom arm you are using?
Greetings. Great information and great images but... at the top of the video, unless I'm mistaken, shouldn't the weight on the c-stand gobo arm be on the right of the knuckle. The "right-hand-rule"... so that the weight, in this case the speed light, tightens the gobo head with the weight applied to it. (Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.) Safety first.
It seems to have been fixed later in the video. So that happened.
The eye-detect feature of modern mirrorless cameras is the only reason I'm considering changing my camera (well of course I mean buying another camera).

actually, he said iso 100 vs iso 200 requires twice power... so imho he ment iso 100 needs more power

What is the speedlight bracket you used with the magnet to add the round filters? Very cool idea and i guess you can get all kinds of gels for it
I mean the one for the background
